The Psychology of Trust: How to Train Your Brain to Stop Playing God

Trust isn’t an emotion you feel; it’s an executive decision you make. If you want to learn how to train your brain to trust God, you first have to understand why it is fighting you. In this episode, Dr. Sharla takes a clinical look at Proverbs 3:5-6, introducing a biblically grounded and psychologically informed framework for why your brain physically fights surrender. You’ll learn why high-functioning women often confuse trusting God with the cognitive bias of "certainty," and how your brain’s fear center (the amygdala) works overtime to mitigate threats instead of relying on God. Dr. Sharla unpacks the true definition of trust—a risk-calibrated expectation of reliability—and the three clinical markers you must use to evaluate God's track record in your life: • Ability: Does God actually have the capacity and competence to handle what you are trying to control? • Benevolence: Do you believe He intends good toward you, or are you secretly waiting for Him to drop the ball? • Integrity: Does His historical track record align with His stated promises consistently over time? Using Scripture and neuroscience, she explains how toxic self-reliance temporarily reduces your anxiety but ultimately keeps you living in survival mode. If you’ve been exhausting yourself trying to out-plan every worst-case scenario, waiting to "feel peace" before you move, or treating surrender like a threat to your safety, this episode will help you recalibrate. You’ll walk away with practical direction for bypassing your amygdala, tolerating uncertainty, and building trust rooted in God's character rather than your own need for control.
